Course Objectives Introduce a general ‘road safety concept’ in highway and junction design. Give main principles of black spot analysis and the role of conflict technique. Discussion on safety auditing of planned roads and roads under operation. Introduce general principles of junction type selection, clearance zone and road equipment.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Road safety concept in highway and junction design is introduced to the civil engineering students.
  • Studies on black spot identification, diagnosis, countermeasure selection and follow-up are made.
  • Conflict technique is explained and the use of the technique for short-term evaluations is achieved.
  • General outlines of the safety auditing on planned projects and roads under operation are given.
  • Evaluations on principles of junction type selection, clearance zone arrangement and design of road equipment are made.
Course Content Safe road design principles, blackspot analysis, safety auditing on planned projects and on existing roads, the conflict technique.
